The Wet Truth

Tyler brings Coco home to meet his stepmom. Awkward small talk at first, Penny sitting there like she's measuring every inch of her. Then the slip happens—Penny brushes past Coco and there’s a tug at her skirt, the older woman’s hand lingering just a beat too long. Later in the hallway Coco catches the reflection: Tyler on the couch, Penny on her knees, taking him down with the calm rhythm of someone who’s done it plenty. Coco freezes, polite smile stuck on her face, loyalty choking her. Penny wipes her lip, stands, and walks right past her with that calm little smirk like the secret’s already out and it’s Coco who’ll have to decide what to do about it.
